In effect, Royal substantially underdeclared its correct taxable sales by 387% or P151.64 million ($3.43 million) in 2011; 122% or P129.69 million ($2.93 million) in 2012; and by 80% or P157.38 million ($3.56 million) in 2013.

Also charged for the same violations were its officers: Royale president Julius Allan Nolasco.

These charges appear to have prompted Royal Business Club to collapse, with the launch of NWorld taking place a few months later.

Master to Masters Bonus

The Master to Masters Bonus is paid out via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

The Master to Masters Bonus tracks generations of Master ranked affiliates within each leg of the unilevel team.

A Master ranked affiliate in a unilevel leg is one generation, with affiliates able to earn a 3% override on up to five generations of Master affiliates in each unilevel leg.

It is unclear whether higher ranked affiliates in a unilevel leg count towards the Master to Masters Bonus.

Incentive Program

An Incentive Program is mentioned in the NWorld compensation plan, however no specific information is provided.

Joining NWorld

NWorld affiliate membership requires the purchase of a Retailer’s Kit for ₱500 ($9.80 USD) and then a Platinum Package for ₱16,000 ($312.80 USD).

Both packages come with an assortment of NWorld products.

Conclusion

Although rebranded, NWorld’s products are either identical or pretty similar to Royal Business Club’s offering.

It’s pretty obvious after the tax fine the Royal Business Club name was dropped, with NWorld essentially launched as a reboot.

That said to the best of my knowledge NWorld and Juluis Nolasco haven’t run into any tax problems since.

With respect to NWorld’s product offering, it appears to be a standard personal care/nutritional supplement offering.

The only thing that stood out to me was the focus on skin whitening, which although is something I’m not a fan of, I guess is a reflection of the market NWorld primarily operate in.

I can’t comment on prices, as NWorld don’t provide any.

Across the many MLM reviews I’ve researched and written, I’ve found when an MLM company doesn’t provide retail pricing that’s typically a sign that retail sales aren’t a core focus.

NWorld do pay a commission for retail sales, but overall the offering didn’t strike me as retail friendly.

Instead you’ve got mandatory product purchases for new affiliates when they sign up, along with a monthly PV requirement that is likely to be satisfied via product bundle purchases.

What you wind up is autoship recruitment, with retail little more than lip-service. And “pay to play” alone is an immediate red-flag in any MLM offering.

The good news is confirming this is pretty simple. Just ask your potential NWorld upline whether they’re satisfying their 120 PV monthly requirement via verified retail sales or their own purchase.

An affiliate purchasing 120 PV a month is fine, provided they have an equivalent of 120 PV each month in verified retail sales. Anything less and retail is an afterthought, meaning that affiliate is running their NWorld business on pyramid recruitment.

That’ll see you have to engage in the same when you promote NWorld, which is unlikely to go anywhere for most people and wind up generating significant losses over time.
